In what way did they fix rage quitting? I still face a lot of peeps in random matchup who tend to quit just before the win/loss is calculated. This happens against people with lots of wins most of the time.

In the tourney, I heard that there was a dramatic drop in the number of rage quits during the tourney (which is slightly more important imo)

That's true of course. I never participated in any tournament so far. The only one i could join was the tourney of 2 weeks ago. But i only do single battles. (not too fond of doubles/rotations) So i deciced not to play in that one.

Agreed with all the Wi-Fi ness. I'd like a really decent Wi-Fi ranking or battling system/community. Like an online frontier of sorts in which you can compare results with others, stuff like that. Obviously, it'd have to flow well, which basically means punishments for ragequitters.

I want to see the Fire type reigning in the OU environment in the 6th Generation!

I feel like Scizor is going to hold that top stop for a while. And I think Fire types have made there mark in OU. Heatran is #5 on PO. And Ninetales Infernape and Volcarona are not all too far behind. I kinda want to see and Ice type become a huge force in OU. And not because of its ability like Obamasnow. Basically it would be cool to see a decent Ice type that is stronger on the defense side than others. I wonder if there would be a good type combo to make that happen or if there is one at all. I am too lazy to think of one right now XP

Need a defensive type? Just add steel!

Though x4 weaknesses to fighting and fire are both bad for stopping dragons, if it gets good attack and Ice Shard, it can still come in on a dragon attack and Ice Shard. Eh, Ice will never be a good defensive type...it's only hope is for it's offensive abilities to help it, or for the type chart to be adjusted in it's favor. And neutrality to stealth rock is always a plus.

This might sound odd and random, but I want at least one more user of Attack Order, who can be viable at least up to RU or UU. I personally love the move, and would love it if I could have access to it on something other than Vespiquen.

i hope they put this in to effect for people that rage quit or wifi disconnects for any reason at all lost points as this in courage those to pick and choose there fights.
from my point of view you dont need to know for rage quit just let both players take a lose in points then you see as more people are will to finish the fight and it keeps those that get over the one hour banned by disconnecting by not turning there ds off but moving away from their wifi signal

I know they had to make a game on the 3ds one day or another but seriously, that's a bad idea. All the people I know hate 3D, its less and less popular every day. I'll buy the game anyway, but I still think they should have made it like the others and kept 3D pokémon battle for the wii.

Hopes:

1- Bring back no-preview of teams and when your pokémons automatically turn level 100 when battling online
2- Lots of new usable pokémons that look cool and make some of the ancient pokémons useful in competitive battling
3- Evolutions for some of the older mons like Arbok, Golduck, Pinsir, Banette even Farfetch'd
4- Starters final evos will be awesome

Fears:

1- Tons of crappy looking pokés with awful stats
2- Another Fire/Fighting starter
3- Bad story
4- The 3D will make long cinematics when searching for a pokémon in the grass or at the start of a battle

Nah, the idea is perfectly good. The 3DS is capable of more then just being a "3D DS", you know. Even if it wasn't in 3D, the DS won't be able to handle it. And if you're friends don't want the 3D, they can either...
1. Turn the 3D off. Yes, you can do that, or...
2. Don't play any future handheld games. Ever. This thing is replacing the DS, just as the DS replaced the GBA.

Agreed. No big company, especially something as big as Gamefreak, in their right mind would want to produce games for a outdated/dying console or handheld when the new handheld/console can do just that and more. Just like nobody in their right mind would Bullet Punch a Ferrothorn (unless they are certain that it is actually a Zoroark).

I have a feeling that even though stall covers Terrakion, a Steel/Ghost with Levitate would be the perfect Terrakion stopper. It'd go well with Heatran too, as most things are resisted by both other than electric and water...

I have 3 hopes:
1. they can determine who's doing RQ and declare the opponent the winner,,
2. is they can banned pirate (such as R4 or such thing)game to compete in a battle against other player,,
3. keep awesome surprise,,

Other than that, I think a good idea would be to introduce more entry hazards like Stealth Rock, only of different types, like Grass, Fire, and Psychic, so that Pokemon just weak to Rocks don't keep getting singled out as 'crap'. I figure there possibly should be the caveat that only one Stealth Rock-esque entry hazard can be up at a time, but then again, I suppose there are drawbacks and advantages either way; having more than one such entry hazard could spell near-instant, overly cheap doom for Pokes with just the wrong type combinations, though if more ways to remove entry hazards do come up, it would be easier to make an opponent waste his time setting up when there are more entry hazards available to throw around.

Add competitive options on the wifi base. (not the PO variant)

That means, if you are the one calling for a challenger, you can make customized rules that ranges from:

a. Banning certain pokemon you don't want to face anytime [hate facing the same Terrakion, Latios, Heatran, Celebi, Jirachi, and Landorus you fight 50 times? Disable them! Then your opponent will surely have none of those pokemon you encountered repeatedly]

b. Restricting certain items and the amount of items heldable [want to reduce the amount of choice items users or leftovers users? you decide on how many.]

I know where you're coming from.. I thought the 3DS was going to be a gimmicky system, like the Wii.

But it's actually not! My sister bought one, and it's pretty much just a more powerful DS.

The 3D part is just a bonus, you don't have to use it, and you don't need it.

Except if you 'ban' certain Pokemon that most competitive players use, or restricting certain items, you'll just be left with a few people which you'll probably fight times over times if same, you're on at the time when most people are playing. Not very viable, IMO. But okay...

Also, I'd like some changes to really crap moves. Defog should just be a Tauntable, yet unblockable Rapid Spin. It makes it partially better and partially worse than Rapid Spin.
